Ghost Villages of the Baie Vert Peninsular

One of the highlights of our trip so far
Stream at Tilt's Cove below a huge abandoned Copper Mine


Snooks Arm

Road to Round Harbor







is the day we took the Jeep and explored abandoned or near abandoned villages south of La Scie. With Confederation, the Canadian government resettled thousands of folks living in remote coves and villages all over Newfoundland and Labrador. There are said to be over 700 such communities. Some of them were never completely abandoned and some are beginning to be repopulated. Many of them can only be reached by boat. I wanted to share some photos of our (mostly) off-road trip.
